Miguel Vargas and Mike Tauchman hit back-to-back homers in a four-run first inning, leading the Chicago White Sox to a 7-2 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates. Vargas' three-run shot marked his 11th homer of the year and ended a drought since June 15. Tauchman added a two-run double later in the game, increasing the lead further while Aaron Civale earned his first win since a trade, allowing just one unearned run.
The White Sox achieved their first series sweep of the season, sending the Pirates to their 11th loss in 12 games.
